title: Alex Comfort's biology of ontology: implications for gerontology, phenomenology and the philosophy of science.
abstract: Alex Comfort's explorations into the biology of the human experiences of self-consciousness and the Oceanic opened avenues of investigation and speculation that deserve reconsideration. His work on the biology of ontology remains valuable, and especially noteworthy is his challenge to make such approaches the basis for a new paradigm of science.
